Kari Waddell, FNP, MSCP

Founder of Radiant Health for Women

Kari Waddell is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Menopause Society Certified Provider (MSCP) specializing in evidence-based care for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging.

She works with women struggling with common but often overlooked midlife concerns such as fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, poor sleep, anxiety, low libido, hot flashes, loss of strength, and feeling disconnected from themselves physically and emotionally. Through personalized treatment plans, hormone therapy when appropriate, lifestyle optimization, and preventive health strategies, Kari helps women feel stronger, clearer, more energized, and more confident in their bodies again.

After more than a decade in traditional healthcare settings, Kari founded Radiant Health for Women to create a different kind of medical experience—one centered on longer visits, meaningful relationships, thoughtful listening, and individualized care. She believes women deserve evidence-based guidance and a provider who takes the time to understand the full picture of their health, symptoms, goals, and stage of life.

Her clinical approach combines current menopause medicine with practical strategies that support long-term brain, bone, heart, metabolic, and emotional health. Kari is especially passionate about helping women build sustainable habits that improve quality of life now while supporting independence for decades to come.

Kari has called Boulder home for more than 10 years and enjoys hiking, running, travel and spending time outdoors in the Colorado foothills.
